Claim to Fame

Luke Fox is most known for being the gifted son of Lucius Fox. He graduated MIT a year early with a degree in business management and engineering, and turned down a job offer from Wayne Enterprises in order to take a year for himself. He was inspired to fight crime when Batman saved him from a gang and they fought off the thugs together when he was sixteen. Now, he's stolen the Batwing suit from Wayne's R&D, and uses it to try and make Gotham a better place.

Reputation

Luke Fox's reputation among academics, or those who pay attention to young people with a bright business future, is mostly that he's a gifted engineer and the son of Lucius Fox. People in high society circles might know of him as well, simply because of who his father is and probably having seen him at events he's been occasionally dragged to. He's known in amateur MMA circuits as a pretty high-tier fighter. And as Batwing he's often confused for being Batman, at least until he starts talking a lot.

Biography

Luke is the oldest of his siblings and can remember all the way back before they lived in a mansion. He was raised by his father to work hard for everything despite being given so many opportunities for education and self-improvement. Though he's always butted heads with his father over how strict the man can be, Luke wanting to be his own person while his father simply always wanted what was best for him.

When he was young he started to gain an interest in MMA, and soon joined a club where he was trained and taught some important lessons about discipline and how to treat others even beyond his father's lessons. By sixteen he was entering point-based MMA tournaments.

At this age he had many defining moments. The first was when he saved himself and his friend Russ from a few gang members on a train. But then that gang came back in full force to try and kill him alone. Batman saved him, and the two of them fought the gang off. This immediately inspired Luke to expand his martial arts and one day try to become a crime fighter just like the Dark Knight.

But shortly after that, his friend Russ' bullying at school became severe, and the teen withdrew from even Luke. It turned out that Russ was designing equipment to inject his body with Viper and become a monster, then took explosives to Gotham's levees to blow them up after killing the classmates who bullied him. Luke tried to stop him, but instead accidentally set off the detonator and blew Russ himself up. He was called a hero, but he couldn't see it that way. He accidentally killed his friend, and he believed that if he just saw him a bit more, even if he was pushed away, then maybe he could have stopped all of this.

After this, he focused very hard on his school work, and training in martial arts with various masters. He was determined to one day join Batman, but had no idea how to approach it. Then, one day, a few months before graduating college, he broke into Lucius Fox's R&D account after a heated argument about how important his father's work is. He discovered the various projects related to Batman tech.

He had no clue how to really interpret this, but one thing was for sure, this was a chance. He downloaded the Batwing suit files, studying them and preparing himself. Then upon graduation, he turned down a job offer from Wayne Enterprises and began his year off to put his plan into action. He faked credentials and essentially created legitimate key cards using what he could dig up about security through his father's account, then he escaped with the suit in a secure case.

Now he's just beginning his crime fighting career, trying to do his best to prove that he actually deserves or is right to be doing any of this.

Character Details

Luke Fox is a pretty laidback and friendly guy. He tries to stay positive and generally doesn't take a particularly dark demeanor unless he feels a situation is urgent enough to require it. He cares deeply about his friends and family, often seeing simply spending time with them to be as important as crime fighting, which can create all sorts of priority issues. But overall he's a brave person who pushes himself to his limits, seeing Batman as an inspiration that he tries to aspire to in his own way.

On the flip side, he can be quite rash when absolutely pushed to his limit to the point of becoming desperate and cornered if someone he cares for is in danger. And even with his high level of intelligence and problem solving ability, and even the fact that he cares so much about people, he can be a bit thoughtless sometimes. While he wants to be there for people to the best of his abilities, the stresses of being a hero often makes him simply outright forget about keeping up with people, or plans they may have had, which can put a strain on his relationships and sometimes hurt those closest to him.

He does, however, try his best to make up for his mistakes, not one to simply let things go if there's still a way to fix it. Such is the way of an engineer and a generally caring person.

Intellect

Luke Fox is incredibly gifted. He graduated with two degrees a year early from MIT, in Business Management and Engineering. He's capable of creating and modifying technology beyond anything available to the general public. Solving problems with technology is something that he excels at.

Martial Arts

He's trained in martial arts since he was pretty young. When he was sixteen he began entering MMA tournaments. Since his first encounter with Batman at that same age, whenever he was able he travelled the globe learning from various masters in multiple arts, primarily Chinese, Japanese, and American styles like boxing and MMA style fighting.

Disguise

He is pretty good at quickly coming up with disguises and thinking of a cover on the fly.

Gifted Tactician

Tactics seem to come pretty naturally to Luke. He can come up with incredibly detailed plans with many moving parts. Though he needs as much information as possible to really make things work.

Athlete

Luke is a naturally gifted athlete, working incredibly hard to keep his body in top fighting shape.

Affluent

Luke Fox is the son of Wayne Enterprise's Lucius Fox, and grew up with every opportunity to succeed at life. He has a trust fund and often being the son of Lucius Fox can open doors.

Bat-suit

The Batwing suit is a full body armor that covers him completely, including his entire face. It's bulletproof and shock resistant, monitors vitals and can perform medical repairs such as injecting painkillers and compensating for a broken leg until one can get proper treatment. It has a cloaking mechanism that projects whatever is behind the suit, but leaves a noticeable blur if he moves. And finally there are retractable wings that allow him to glide.

Gadgets

Luke uses quite a lot of gadgets. His most notable are the grappling hook that most bat-people use, custom batarangs that can be thrown or used as sharp brass knuckles, mechanical vapor bats that can release a sleeping gas to knock out a group of people, and various sprays. His sprays include things like high-scoville pepper sprays and hallucinogenic gas derived from Scarecrow's fear gas for interrogations. Another notable gadget is a small laser cutter for escaping binds and other utility uses.

Rash

Most of the time Luke is fairly level-headed and tactical. But under heavy personal stress when he feels as if a lot is on the line, he can be pushed to go over the line and become quite desperate. He'd never actually kill someone, but some things like threatening his family can push him to the very edge.

Family

Unlike a lot of people who get involved in Gotham crime fighting, Luke comes from a loving and very much still breathing family. It makes his identity particularly important to keep a secret, and he also can't simply go on the run and abandon his family if he gets into trouble. He has to juggle a fine balance between paying attention to his family and dedicating himself to fighting crime, a task which often proves nearly impossible.

Secret Identity

He keeps his identity a secret to protect his family and the ability to have a normal life outside of fighting crime. Too much would be at stake if his identity were to be revealed, so it is a very serious thing if someone finds it out.

Gadget Reliance

While he is an expert and gifted fighter, he's also an engineer who tends to try and solve a lot of problems with technology. So when he fights, he can often become reliant on the gadgets that he creates, especially against someone stronger and more skilled than himself. Unlike many heroes in Gotham, he resorts to using his gadgets more frequently than normal, and is put a little off guard when he runs out of them.

Stamina

Despite being such a good fighter, he's most experienced with quick bouts. When a fight drags on or he's forced to do a lot of harsh physical activity for a very long period of time, he starts feeling the fatigue pretty hard. It's something he's trying to get over, but it is a serious issue on particularly long nights against a lot of tough opponents.

Guilt

He has a tendency to carry a heavy burden of guilt with him if he feels as if he could have done something different, or saved someone. This started with his friend Russ as a teen, who became a literal monster after being bullied. Russ took the Viper drug with the intent of killing his bullies and blowing up Gotham's levees with no one able to stop him. While trying to put an end to this, Luke accidentally activated the detonation device and blew him up. He was called a hero, but he felt nothing but guilt, which he carries even today.
